Thanks Tim the process sounds fine but before we go to the effort I would

these little primitives internally in the distributed VM's?

I would like to have the DESPlugin which is already a part of the VMMaker
compiled internally in the distributed VM's, and we are considering writing
others to speed up implementations.
